Three settlements founded with the assistance of the late Felix M. Warburg, American Jewish philanthropist and communal leader, welcomed his son, Edward M.M. Warburg, this week-end when he paid them a surprise visit. Mr. Warburg, general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, accompanied by other officials of the U.J.A., now on a mission to Israel, visited the settlements during an inspection tour they were making of new settlement projects in the Negev, the southern desert of Israel.
At Kfar Warburg, founded 12 years ago and named in honor of Mr. Warburg’s father, settlers showed the visitors around the settlement and described their development plans. The group also visited Beer-Tuvia and Avigdor and saw some cooperative villages. Their trip was part of a general plan to visit the entire country to obtain a firsthand picture of latest developments and problems in the country.
Henry Montor, executive vice-president of the American Financial and Development Corporation for Israel, arrived at Lydda Airport last night to confer with Israel Finance Minister Eliezer Kaplan and other Israeli Government officials on the Israel Independence Bond sales campaign in the United States.
